What are Wall Street analysts saying about Sealed Air stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sealed Air stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Currency headwinds and higher-than-expected input and freight costs are expected to affect Sealed Air’s fourth-quarter results. Softness in the Product Care utility business is likely to continue in the fourth quarter. Consequently, the company has lowered fiscal 2018 guidance for net sales to $4.7 billion, adjusted EBITDA at $870-$880 million and adjusted earnings per share to the range of $2.40 to $2.45. The company has underperformed the industry over the past year. Going forward, Sealed Air’s top-line will be supported by enhanced demand for its core product portfolio, recently-introduced innovations, strong fresh food markets and e-commerce sector. Expected benefits from reducing costs, driving operational excellence and commercializing new innovations combined with favorable global business trends positions the company well for improved results. The company has a positive record of earnings surprise in the last few quarters." (12/18/2018)

2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We are slightly increasing our 2018 adjusted EBITDA estimate from $895 million to $900 million (at the midpoint of guidance of $890 million to $910 million) and our 2019 EBITDA estimate from $915 million to $920 million (consensus is $951 million); we are moving to the midpoint of guidance for 2018 following the Company’s slight beat in 2Q. For 2019, we assume a minimal EBITDA contribution from just-acquired AFP (~$5 million), such that the majority of our assumed $20 million of EBITDA growth is organic. We realize our assumed rate of organic EBITDA growth for 2019 is lower than that in 2018, but we also note that SEE’s EBITDA was essentially flat in the previous two years. At the midpoint of its 2018 EBITDA guidance, SEE is trading at 11.2x EV/EBITDA, roughly in line with the five-year average. We think the valuation is fair." (8/2/2018)
